Property description

On the Powys/Herefordshire borders on the edge of the village of Llanigon, close to the historic St. Eigon’s Church Llanigon, Hay-On-Wye, Powys, HR3 5QA

Messrs. Nigel Ward & Co and McCartneys llp offer for sale by private treaty Ty Mawr Farm House, Land and Buildings Being an exciting Residential and Development Opportunity Ty Mawr comprises a period character farmhouse (3 reception/4 bedrooms), an extensive range of Stone Barns and outbuildings including a former Corn mill and Mill-keeper’s cottage, modern farm buildings and approximately 7 acres of land including a parkland-type approach and the old mill stream. A total of 197 acres are available if required. A significant part of the farmstead lies within the recognised development limits of the village of Llanigon, which is itself within the Brecon Beacons National Park Planning Authority. It is clear that there is significant potential development value here, particularly in relation to the extensive traditional farm-buildings, which would seem to be ideal for conversion to a more beneficial use including residential, holiday use, etc. Hay-on-Wye (1½ miles) is a thriving market and tourist town, famous for its Festival and second-hand book-shops and the larger towns of Brecon (16 miles) and Hereford (22 miles) offer more in the way of social and shopping facilities and Abergavenny (20 miles) to the south provides dual carriageway access to the Severn Bridge and beyond. = Village Envelope Ty Mawr Farmhouse is a traditional period farmhouse of some antiquity with parts believed to date back to the early 16th century and is mentioned in 'Brycheiniog - The Houses of Breconshire' as "being remarkable as the only timber-frame farmhouse in the district." Although the house would benefit from some expenditure, it offers charming accommodation in a uniquely attractive setting with various ponds and extensive gardens surrounding it backing onto the Digeddi Brook, which is situated in a deep chasm, thus posing very little threat of flooding.

The property comprises the following accommodation (measurements are provided for identification only):
